Automation made easy with igus® motion plastics®. For example, the robolink® multi-axis articulated robot and drylin® linear robot with a matching control unit for pick&place operations. The components are simply chosen and combined from the igus® modular construction kit.

energy chains® are automatically assembled in the igus® factory by such robots. Completely lubrication- and maintenance-free.

Visit us at one of our Europe autumn trade fairs to see our automation solutions in action. Or we can visit you locally at any time you wish.

Best regards,

Insights from the igus® lab

Robot gearboxes: 49 test rigs In the robolink® laboratory, different worm gears and strain wave gears are currently being tested for durability on 49 test rigs in 24/7 operating mode. The size RL-D-20 (transmission 1:38) has completed more than 1 million cycles at 5 Nm and 12 rpm.

Multi-axis robolink® arms are tested in live mode. 4 automatic assembly machines operating in 2-shift mode assemble 20 m of e-chain® per hour on average. The first arm has already completed 1 million cycles at a cycle time of 4-6 seconds. Find out more

Where is igus® hiding?

Automated book scanner: robolink® turns the pages This automatic book scanner from EPS GmbH was fitted out with a robolink® D, which turns pages and triggers the next scanning process as soon as a page has been scanned. The articulated arm is able to turn pages made of highly sensitive paper in different book sizes by means of a suction effect generated between a special tool and the page.Find out more and watch the video
